The Minister, Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Mallam Muhammad Musa Bello has hailed the All Progressive Congress (APC) administration for effective performance, saying that the ruling party’s administration has since 2015 brought tremendous changes to Nigeria.
In a press release from the Chief Press Secretary (CPS), FCTA, Anthony Ogunleye, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello said this at a courtesy visit by the Chairman and members of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) APC Membership Revalidation and Registration Committee which took place on Thursday, February 4th, 2021.
Expressing satisfaction with the appointment of Hon. Sanda Umar Garba as the Chairman of the FCT APC Membership Registration Committee whom he said is well known for hard work, integrity and fairness and pledged the maximum support of the FCT, the Minister urged the Committee members to work hard in mobilizing people across the FCT to register as members of the party.
He said, “I want us to use all available means to mobilize people right across the Territory for them to really register because, as you know, nationwide, during the last election, our great party under the President, during the presidential election, got about 15 million votes. We want all those voters to be registered and in the FCT, our population is increasing constantly. So, let us reach out.”
He also assured the Committee that the FCT has a well-organized party structure that will make the Committee’s assignment easy.
In his words: “You are coming to the FCT and finding on ground a party structure that is well organized from the ward level up to the level of the FCT itself under the leadership of Hon. Abdulmalik Usman. I’m sure working with him closely and his EXCO, right across the territory, the assignment will be easy,” he stated.
